City Gallery is an exhibition centre about the planning and development of Hong Kong. It is located at Edinburgh Place in Central - and I only stumbled upon it by sheer luck. We went to see a photography exhibition at the City Hall and that's when we noticed the City Gallery next door. It is… Continue reading City Gallery Museum
Now with a baby and a stroller, I'm trying to navigate my way around Hong Kong. And let me tell you, it is not easy. There are too many steps, narrow aisles and uneven pavements everywhere. It is not fun to take a stroller out. However, I am making an effort to find some routes… Continue reading Walk from Tamar to Sheung Wan
I've been visiting the Maritime Museum several times since it moved to the very convenient central location next to the Star Ferry. I really enjoy their exhibition - and I had fun visiting their current special exhibition called 'Made in Hong Kong'. This exhibition is all about what makes Hong Kong unique - and it… Continue reading Hong Kong Maritime Museum: Made in Hong Kong
There is probably NO guide book that does NOT mention the famous Maxim's Palace in Hong Kong's City Hall... but it took me more than four years to give this famous place a go. And the only reason we went is that we were next door at the City Gallery and when we finished walking… Continue reading Review: Dim Sum at Maxim’s Palace
There was a break without any rain yesterday afternoon, so it was a good opportunity to go and see the Red Bull Flugtag myself. The only problem was that hundreds of people had the same idea, so there was a big group of people already at the location close to the central ferry piers. When… Continue reading At the Red Bull Flugtag 2014
Ok, I admit it - I'm a little obsessed with PMQ. It's such a great building and I love that it houses so many different shops. Even if not all of them have been opened, I walked around for two hours checking out the different outlets. The plan is that by mid-June 2014 all 100+… Continue reading Exploring the shops at PMQ
If you have read my post from the Night Market yesterday, you'll know that I've been to PMQ. That's the former police married quarters in Central, which was been reborn as a design hub. It is a very interesting building, so let me write a little bit more about it today. The original police married… Continue reading PMQ is open
I really enjoy exploring Hong Kong - not just the landscape and its country parks, but also the backstreets, alleyways and parts that are off the beaten track. One way to find out more about the history of the city, explore new areas and meet great people is to join one of the treasure hunts… Continue reading Treasure Hunt from Central to Aberdeen
After visiting all the exhibitions I kept walking through the streets of Central ... ... and I just went past all the wet market stalls around Graham Street. I love this area. It is such a classic place to visit, walking along the small green stores with its fresh produce almost feels like Hong Kong… Continue reading Graham Street market revisited
Finally, the third and final exhibition that I visited in the Pedder Building. It was a photographic exhibition that my friends had recommended: Searching Journeys by the well-known Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama. He is widely recognised for his innovative, highly personal and unvarnished depictions of urban life. He is known for back-street boxers, strippers and… Continue reading Art exhibition: Daido Moriyama at Simon Lee Gallery
